"Fifty Rupees".. the news spread like wildfire. "After all we would be able to convice dad", sighed us. And then the countdown started for that blissful day when THE SUPERCOOL-ULTRA MODERN-HIGLY ADVANCED machine will be unveiled in the headmaster's room. Yes, finally a computer is getting installed and the computer classes are starting in our school...
The year is 1994 ;am in my 8th standard, beginning of high scool, that feeling of seniors.. those days were really interesting. And when the physics teacher anounced the much awaited computer training, all students went creazy. Till then the "computer" was another TV with fancy buttons and clunky sounds, to most of us. So I's not amazed seeing a half-KM long queue in front of the school office. And the brightness on the face of those who got enrolled, it was huge. Later on when I got the admission slip, I simply could not believe it; finally, I am going to learn the wonder machine...
More than learning, I was more than excited to even touch and feel the system. Who cares for a programming output or fancy coding?...
And finally that day came.... I's really jumping with excitement when i reached school; and for the first time in my school life, I reached the gates even before it was open; so was all other "geeks"...
And then, began the most exciting journey in my life.....
to b contd...
